Russian soldiers torch their own trucks to escape suicide assaults near Pokrovsk.

The Atesh network reveals that assaults near Pokrovsk have turned into a “ meat grinder”, as Moscow forces throw in exhausted units in pursuit of symbolic victory
for Putin.

Ugh. It will be so relieving to see him gone, but the very real likelihood is that the real cause will be covered up; it will be presented as an assassination, they'll frame it as a Democrat plot and use it as an excuse to outlaw the Democrats and declare marshall law.

Sorry to see racists in black face thinking they can mock with impunity again. This is never okay.

A tweet from gav (@itsgavv) reads: “we’re witnessing levels of racism not seen since 1962.” It quotes a tweet from Brittany Venti, who posted two photos of herself wearing blackface makeup while holding fried chicken, captioned “When that EBT hit.”

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

today, the Babylon Bee guy and Matt Walsh are fighting over Pat Buchanan

[john ganz laser eyes]

Pat Buchanan didn't just have good ideas. He was right about almost everything. He's the most vindicated political figure of our lifetime. As for his "weird antisemitism," what are you referring to, exactly? People have been throwing that word at Buchanan for decades but I've never seen an example of this alleged antisemitism. What are the examples?

For 17 years I have relied on SNAP benefits. I'm on Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid & live w/chronic illness & disabilities, 2x cancer survivor & Lupus. SNAP is ESSENTIAL for my nutrition. Me & 42M are experiencing a President who does NOT care if 1/8 of ALL Americans STARVE to death!

The inescapable power of nostalgia compels me to actually enjoy some Our Lady Peace songs now, but for the first twenty years of their existence they seemed to be a scourge that haunted me from every radio station, every rock festival in Ontario.

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.
